2008 Convention Photos : Coal Empties at Plattsmouth

Empty coal trains from Kansas City usually take the longer Napier Subdivision north to Pacific Jct and then the Creston Subdivision to Lincoln rather than work against coal loads coming down the mostly single track St. Joseph Subdivision. This westbound empty is approaching the Missouri river bridge at Plattsmouth just after coming off the Napier Sub at Pacific Jct (photo by Gary Seymour).
